TL;DR · Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer

The Senior Datacenter Power Systems Modeling Engineer leads cross-functional execution and modeling for data-center power-delivery programs. This role owns rack-level architecture definition, including power shelves, busbars, and cable vendor management. You will drive end-to-end modeling and simulation to optimize designs, perform failure analysis, and manage technical risks across architecture, validation, mechanical, compliance, and firmware teams. Key responsibilities involve translating power-architecture requirements into milestones while balancing efficiency, reliability, thermal limits, and manufacturability. You will manage PSU and rack-power vendors and support bring-up processes. Required expertise includes a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and proficiency with simulation tools like SIMPLIS, PowerSI/DC, SPICE, PLECS, and Q3D. The role focuses on solving complex power problems for high-density AI and GPU server platforms and next-generation power systems.

What you'll do

  • Lead end-to-end execution for data-center power architecture programs including power shelves and busbars.
  • Perform end-to-end power modeling and simulation to guide and optimize system designs.
  • Drive fast failure analysis with solid root cause identification and correlation actions.
  • Own technical risk management and validation strategies across architecture, mechanical, and firmware teams.
  • Translate power-architecture requirements into clear milestones while identifying engineering trade-offs.
  • Manage PSU and rack-power vendors and support hardware bring-up processes.
  • Communicate program status, risks, and technical escalations to leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related technical field or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years of experience.
  • Familiarity with simulation and modeling tools such as SIMPLIS, PowerSI/DC, SPICE, PLECS, Q3D, and related tools.
  • Ability to drive highly technical programs from concept to production through modeling and simulation.
  • Experience working with PSU/PSC or other power electric vendors.
  • Strong technical communication and documentation skills.
  • Experience working on high-density AI/GPU server platforms (preferred).
  • Background in power electronics, PSU/DCDC design, or high-current power delivery simulation (preferred).
